UFC officials Tuesday announced the booking, which takes place
Sept. 21 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. UFC 165 is headlined by a
light heavyweight title bout pitting champion Jon Jones
against challenger Alexander
Gustafsson and will also see Renan Barao
defend his interim bantamweight belt against former WEC champ
Eddie
Wineland.

Philippou, 33, rides a five-fight winning streak into his clash
with Carmont. The Cyprus-born New Yorker debuted with the UFC in
2011 and posted three victories last year, outpointing Court McGee
and Riki
Fukuda before stopping Tim Boetsch
this past December at UFC 155.

Carmont, meanwhile, has not lost since 2008, rattling off five
straight victories to start his UFC career. Like his opponent, the
31-year-old Frenchman also picked up three wins last year but most
recently competed on April 20, when he was awarded a controversial
unanimous decision win over Lorenz
Larkin at UFC on Fox 7.
